[tinks_1989]

Oh bob you have finally popped over yay

[Bolanette87]

...

[MegKate]

Bob you're going to have one heck of a beautiful wedding!!! :goodvibes Everything looks awesome!!

[malibustacey]

oh i must say your menu choice sounds just delicious! welcome to the DIS, i look forward to hearing all your planning!

I love your ring, its so unusual, the setting of it i have never seen before!


and WOW that place you are having your reception looks stunning- it looks sooo expensive and posh!

[Bolanette87]

...

[malibustacey]

your std cards are nice too - the colours are great and stand out - and the way the green and black on the card will match (well nearly as you will be wearing emerald) with your dress - and the venue!

Thats so lovely your parents are contributing - its quite rare these days - and we wont have parents contributing so we have to save up hard! Everyone deserves a splurge on your wedding day- you only get married once- why settle for less - i have never seen that venue before, it really is georgeous - i have looked at the website!


ooh this time next year you will be married!! :cool1:

[Bolanette87]

...

[malibustacey]

yeah well done you!

Ill def be following along with your plans - i think what you have in mind so far is great!!!

[tinks_1989]

every time i see your invites i like them more and more

[Bolanette87]

[tinks_1989]

Robert had wanted to propose in Disneyland Paris, but nerves got the better of him and he proposed when we got home!

Bob xoxoxoxo

aw i didnt no that! thats so cute x x

[Bolanette87]

...

[jennjones1]

Wow i love all your plans and your venue is so gorgeous!!

I wish our reception venue looked like that!:rolleyes:

We are getting married at the swan and dolphin disney hotel and then having a reception in England which is going to be at the holiday inn!!We are on a budget!!!:rotfl2:

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Bless him.... He just said he could never quite pluck up enough courage! I dunno why, I don't bite! :laughing:

I was half expecting a proposal over Myspace to be honest, given that thats how we met!

Bob xoxoxox

aww thats so sweet the night before dave proposed he didnt sleep and kept me up all night fidgiting

he slept well the night he proposed though lol bless I bet it is nerve racking though I remember just before Dave proposed he said something about proposing and I said of course Id say yes and he said to me well it wont happen for ages yet any way and i really believed him we were happy they way we were and i was really shocled an hour or so later he proposed lol

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Whats really weird is, I knew he was going to propose before he did it.... He wasn't acting funny in the slightest or anything like that. We'd agreed he'd go to work for half a day (He had no holiday time left and had to build up a bit of flexi time) and I'd pick him up at 1pm and we'd go down to the river for a walk together..... When I got up I felt compelled to dress really nicely, despite the fact I knew we were going for a walk in the mud, made a big fuss with my hair and make up, etc.... I just knew he was going to propose that day!

Bob xoxoxox

Aw thats nice lol. We dressed up a bit but you cant get really too dressed up in heat lol but only because dave had accidently mentioned we were going for a meal

and to your update I love thos cake toppers i really want one but yes they are a bit of an expense

and your favour and seating arrangemts i love they sound really good i love how you arekeeping all in a garden theme :D

[malibustacey]

Bob xoxoxox


haha there are you two dressing up -and i was proposed to while i was in dirty clothes, not washed hair, no make up nothing- i hadnt even brushed my teeth! hahaha!!! so romantic!

i wish we was having a english wedding cake in disney - the fondant out there you cant eat- and i wanted a chocolate cake - and you cant even eat the chocolate fondant - its just not the same as the icing you get over here!

[tinks_1989]

i read that on your thread on the main wedding forum and thought that sucked

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Well, not properly dressed up..... He was quite smart as he'd just left work (Shirt, tie, etc) whereas I'd gone for a bit of a more smart look..... Better than the scruffy look I normally adopt when going for a walk! :lmao:

I'm looking at cakes right now... It's driving me mad! Lol!

Bob xoxoxox

I know and when you find the cake design its what flavours do you want for each tier and what icing flavour grr lol

[gemmybear83]

I've seen some really nice ones from M&S where you can just add your decoration? I shall ask at work and see if anybody has used anyone locally (family friends are always good!). I am going to get my dad out of cake making retirement to make my UK reception cake (he used to be a chef and made my mum and dads cake!)!

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

We may possibly be ordering our wedding cake from here: http://www.thecakegarden.co.uk/

Gonna discuss things with the other half tonight when he comes home! :goodvibes

Bob xoxoxox

OO nice I like :lmao:

[Bolanette87]

...

[Chilly]

I've suddenly had one of my nervous moments about the wedding.... I keep feeling haunted by something my Mum said the other week about what would I do if nobody wanted to travel up for our wedding (From Robert's side)..... I keep feeling like the wedding is going to be a disaster and it'll be my own fault.... :sad1:

Bob xoxoxox

Oh don't worry Bob :hug: its a wedding most people are willing to travel for weddings, I think it is programmed into us actually.

I'm glad you've started a PJ, your reception venue looks stunning.

[tinks_1989]

I keep feeling haunted by something my Mum said the other week about what would I do if nobody wanted to travel up for our wedding (From Robert's side)..... I keep feeling like the wedding is going to be a disaster and it'll be my own fault.... :sad1:

Bob xoxoxox

people will travel im sure i thouhgt that wheni have been planning a home reception and been thinking people wont go that far then I think if they want to be there they will be there (im worrying about people travelling 15 miles for a reception not worrying about them travelling 1000's miles lol) I worried Daves family wouldnt come but every one seems very happy to be there it will all work out i am sure its just nerves no one blames you we all get it

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Well, it's a 2-3 hour drive for them to get to our wedding, so its not a huge distance.... I think they will travel, it's just my Mum really panicked me by putting the idea that they wouldn't into my head!

Bob xoxoxoxo

oo mums are just their to make you worry lol as long as robert is happy thats all that matters andthat every one has a valued excuse not to be there even if some just come for the ceremony

[Chilly]

it's just my Mum really panicked me by putting the idea that they wouldn't into my head!

Bob xoxoxoxo

Most of the time Mum's are great but sometimes :rolleyes1

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

My younger brother informed me today that our wedding wasn't very 'him' and that he didn't really want to come... :sad2: The joys of 14 year olds!

Bob xoxoxox


ha ha kids lol i dont have a brother so i dont know what its like but it could be worse you could have a younger sister who wants to be too involved lol
like me lol

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

I've got a future MIL who is absolutely desperate to get actively involved, but I'm afraid I won't let her. She has really terrible taste in everything to do with weddings so I'm afraid there's no chance in hell she's getting to make/do anything! She's hinted about making favours ("I made the favours for our Joannes wedding you know."..."I think favours are an essential thing to make a wedding 'posh', don't you? I made them for my own wedding.".... "Oh, I made the favours for our Joanne, did I tell you?".... :headache: ), and I was like: "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" 'cause she would want to go down the traditional sugared almond route and ruin my nice 'twist on traditional' vibe!

Bob xoxoxoxo

ha ha you really make me laugh Dave doesnt have any contact with his mum so i dont have to worry about the MIL but my mum is great she has really great taste and helps me

Yeah deffintly posh favours are a must i really want some thing different but im a bit worried about getting it out to USA and getting it home lol

but your idea is great i love it and i agree i am trying to stay away from sugared almounds i dont even like them lol

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[gemmybear83]

Oooooh I love them both Bob! You making me want a comb in stead of a hairband now!:thumbsup2

[pink_tink8i8]

ohh i love your birdcage and fascinator!

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Ooh I love it where did you get that nice sparkly comb ? x x x

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

I was having a look at my MOH's dress the other day, and because of the fine fabric its made out of, I'm not convinced a strong coloured green wrap and shoes would work with it. Instead, I thought she could maybe have a wrap like this (http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B001PI6LPY/sr=1-12/qid=1235768531/ref=sr_1_12/279-4669201-2331729?ie=UTF8&node=&m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&keywords=wrap&mnSBrand=core&size=63&rh=n%3A42966030%2Ck%3Awrap%2Cn%3A42967030&page=)- It looks nicer in the shop than it does on the pic, very delicate with embroidered floral patterns all over it. Maybe that, and some nice black shoes would look better with her dress? We're going to have a look on Wednesday to see what we think!

Bob xoxoxoxox


I like it by i love the idea of your BM's being the opposite to you

[Bolanette87]

...

[camara381]

I love your sparkly headpiece!!!!!

[Bolanette87]

...

[gemmybear83]

I like the scarf Bob - your right its one of those things you have to see up close! Whats the name of that shop in Warkworth?:)

[Bolanette87]

...

[malibustacey]

ooh how did i miss your photos?

i love the comb head piece! its so pretty!

[tinks_1989]

Hello Bob,

Just popped over after you commented on my PJ about your some thing Blue.

I read in a magazine that this girl who had also lost her dad had name stitched on to the inside of her dress in blue. I thought this was a really sweet thing to do I just thought Id let you know as i had no idea what to do for my some thing blue either.

hope your ok and uni isnt too hard

Leanne x x x

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

WOW take a look at that headpiece!!!!!!!!!! That is just beyond stunning I am in love!!

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[gemmybear83]

Well, after a lot of searching for Green hair accessories for my bridesmaids, I found somewhere!!

They're buying their own accessories, all I've asked is that they're green (If they couldn't have got them, I said Black or Clear) and, if possible, fit in with the floral theme we seem to have adopted.....

I stumbled across this site last night, and they sell floral themed accessories in loads of colours, including green! Yay!! Pins and Grips (http://www.flutterbyweddings.co.uk/products/hair-accessories/floral.htm), Headbands (http://www.flutterbyweddings.co.uk/products/wedding-headbands/floral.htm), Combs (http://www.flutterbyweddings.co.uk/products/hair-accessories/comb.htm), etc..... I've said they can pick whichever they like as I'm not bothered about them all matching- I'd rather they were happy and had picked things they like!

Bob xoxoxoxxo

I love that site Bob!:)

[tinks_1989]

what you planning as your something blue then

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

could you get a new blue charm for your bracelet

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

mmm yea i guess i dont know what else to sugest then lol all these little things take lots of thought

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

They do don't they....? Especially when you're like me and can never make your mind up about anything! :laughing:

Bob xoxoxo


Lol umm will have to have a good think about it

Have you decided on a bouquet yet?

Leanne x x x

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

I love that centre piece

gerberas are my favorite as well :D

I was thinking the same for my bridal party my bouquet MOH smaller version and BM a single flower

were you thinking of like and arch over the door over church or some thing ?

Leanne x x x

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Does it have hand rail near the church door as i have seen some place have ribbon/material wrapped losely around and floral decorations in a pot/vase

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Nope... No rail... :guilty: I was thinking maybe 'Wedding Wreath' on the door would be nice?

Oooo, there's a thought.... Pew Ends! Must talk to her about those!

Bob xooxxoxxoxo

lol just more and more every time you sit and think about it lol I cant wait to see your dress have you heard any more about it ?

Leanne xxxx

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Wow £300 thats a bummer!

Dont you want your beautiful dress to be on display when you get married?
I know it woul be cold in February but youll be so excited lol you wont even notice :)

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

I do, but I also want to hear the service above the sound of my teeth chattering! Lol! Plus, its a good way to change 'looks' from daytime to night-time....

I thought about a Pashmina too (Like my BMs), but I know I'll twizzle on with it and I'll have all my piccys with me fiddling on with it! Lol!

Bob xxoxoxoxoxox

ha ha you are too funny ill let you know if i see any thing on my wonders around the internet lol

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

I'm getting rather excited this evening about Honeymoon clothes.... Having two honeymoons means I'll need more outfits, doesn't it? ;) Robert doesn't look thrilled about this as it means I'll spend cash....! Lol!

Bob xoxoxoox

yes maam it does! That was my whole plan...
Try these sites they have crazy clearance lately

macys.com
delias.com
alloy.com

Hope it helps!

[gemmybear83]

I'm currently in search of a wedding cover up.... Up until now, I've been looking for a black, crochet cardigan to wear over my dress (It is going to be freezing after all!) but I saw this the other day whilst doing some online browsing....

http://www.fairygothmother.co.uk/hn-trainedcoat.htm

I thought it would look amazing over my dress, and also that it would be lovely to have something trailing down the aisle after me....

However, at £300 its far too much for me to afford.... :sad1: So I'm currently on the hunt for something similar but cheaper.... However, it's not the end of the world if I don't get it. I think a black lace cardigan would look lovely over my dress too....

Anyone else got any other suggestions?

Bob xoxooxoxox

Bob could you not get this made alongside your dress? I think the pattern would be pretty easy for you wedding dressmaker?

[Bolanette87]

...

[gemmybear83]

I think jacket would look better as it would be more structured and fitted - I think it would compliment your dress more - does that make sense?

Plus you would be warmer!!:goodvibes

[scarlet-la-belle]

Sorry it took me sooo long to read your PJ :guilty:
But i love your ideas, all of your hand made things are so lovely! I bet it was fun to make things for your wedding instead of just buying them :cutie:
And WOW were your having you're reception is totally stunning!
The wedding is going to be beautiful! :goodvibes

Love the coat, and my answer to everything, have you tried eBay?

[Bolanette87]

Love the coat, and my answer to everything, have you tried eBay?

I have tried Ebay, and the only one I could find was a seriously goth one... Velvet, big hood, corset back.... Looked a bit like executioner wear! :lmao: I will keep my eye out on Ebay though.... :thumbsup2

[Chilly]

I spoke to my dress maker tonight about coats and she said it sounded good! :banana: She also said the mock up of my dress is nearly done, so she'll be round with that maybe next week!! :banana:

Bob xoxoxoxox

Hi Everyone!

First of all, thank you for your votes on my veil! I think I'm going to stick with the Birdcage I'd originally chosen!

Today, I went out with my Mum to do the grocery shop at Sainsburys (Going via the Garden Centre where I bought some new Yankee Candle Tarts!) and I found my wedding earrings on the jewellery stand! They were only £2, so a total bargain!

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n243/Bolan_Babe/2009_0312plants0029.jpg

Bob xoxoxoxox

Great news

[gemmybear83]

Love the earrings Bob! Plus they are the type of thing you will wear again!

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[MegKate]

My necklace came today! It's amazing and gorgeous, and came with matching earrings! :lmao: Never mind! I'll just wear the Sainsburys ones for day to day wear.... :thumbsup2

Bob oxoxoxoxox

I love your necklace - you've got to post a picture of the new earrings as well!! :thumbsup2

[Bolanette87]

...

[MegKate]

I tried taking piccies to show y'all, but I look a bit like an inflated trout today!! :lmao: Will try again later on! :thumbsup2

Bob xoxoxoxo

Ya know Bob, I'm having that problem myself today and I couldn't have put it any better! :rotfl2: LOL!

[Bolanette87]

...

[MrsTigger]

Ooooh fab!! cant wait to see some pics of it :)

[pink_tink8i8]

llove the earrings and can't wait to see the necklace!

[Bolanette87]

...

[MrsTigger]

Looks lovely hun!! Def a nice bonus to get earrings as well!!

[tinks_1989]

Hello Bob,

Love the necklace and earings!
They came very quick!
Do you tell Robert you buy things or do you keep it a complete secret for the big day?

x x x x

[Bolanette87]

...

[pink_tink8i8]

OMG, LOVE your necklace :lovestruc

[gemmybear83]

Love the necklace Bob!!! Your much better at keeping things secret than I am haha!

[Bolanette87]

...

[gemmybear83]

I really like it Bob - and I agree it would be easier to flip back :)

Have you seen this site? http://www.furcoatnoknickers.co.uk/ They were at the wedding show I went to yesterday and their things were amazing!!!!

[Bolanette87]

...

[scarlet-la-belle]

I do like the one off ebay it's really pretty but how are you having you're hair? That will make alot of difference.
And you're necklace are earings are lovely :goodvibes

[Bolanette87]

...

[Bolanette87]

...

[MegKate]

Just ordered the ebay veil!!!! Yay!! :banana:

Bob xoxoxoxox

YAY BOB!!

BTW - Love the earrings and necklace and no you had no resemblence to the aforementioned trout! :rotfl: Are you still going to have a fascinator with that veil?

[Bolanette87]

...

[pink_tink8i8]

I've found a nice birdcage veil on ebay I might buy instead of the other one... The one I originally posted was about £80 (Which is quite a bit of money really!) plus about £10 p&p and I've just found this:

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n243/Bolan_Babe/f3e3_1.jpg

Which I think would look nicer on my head on the day, could be flipped back easily after the ceremony, etc etc. It's also only £30....

What do you all think?

Bob xxoxoxoxoxox

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT..it's goin got look fab with the jewelry

I was a little dissapointed last night when my Aunt came over and started to tell me which flowers would look best with my dress. She wants to do a hand tied bouquet in a shape I don't really like, and she was on about ivory flowers.... She also suggested black baccura roses (Which are basically dark red, despite her insistance they aren't!)... I'm gutted as I didn't want to have anything ivory/white (Save for the cake, but thats white chocolate and therefore unavoidable!) or red in the day.... I hate the colour red.... I also didn't like the idea of ivory/white roses 'cause they're what I had for my Dad's funeral and I just think it would remind me too much of those. She assures me it would be different, but I'm not convinced. I'll go with the Ivory rather than red though... I'm trying to look for things that'll be a halfway point between what I want and what she thinks will look good. I know she's right- She has a real eye for these things, and I want it to look good on the day, but I'd be heartbroken if I had to have something I hated as my flowers mean a lot to me....

I've agreed with her that because of the dramatic look the dress will have it's better to have all one flower and all one colour though, so thats one thing at least!

Bob xoxoxox


My friends a florist, do you want me to ask her what flowers would be good?

[Bolanette87]

...

[scarlet-la-belle]

Bob if you don't want those flowers don't have them. It's not going to matter the flowers look beautiful if they aren't want you want or if they remind you of somthing sad. You really need to do what makes YOU feel happy and beautiful.

[Bolanette87]

...

[ghockley1981]

wow wow wow, your venue looks amazing. Never seen anything like that before and it truely has a magical feel from the photos you've put up.

I can't believe i haven't seen your link before.

Lots of catching up for me today :)

I love tulips.... I think they're gorgeous.... She reckons they could work nicely, so thats good!

I felt a bit mean turning down her suggestions as she won't take any payment for them, but my flowers do mean a lot to me.... I know they don't to some brides, but they really do to me...

Bob xoxoxoxox
No, i completely understand! Dress and flowers are equally important to me!

[tinks_1989]

I love those tulips they are very nice :)

I am glad you stood up and said no and said what you wanted i am very proud of you

[gemmybear83]

Love all the flowers Bob - Tulips and those pale green roses especially - I've never seen pale green roses before?:)

[malibustacey]

My Mum bought me the veil from her ebay account, she's emailing a complaint to the seller now.

Bob xoxoxox
Complaint, why? Something wrong with it?

[Bolanette87]

...

[torsie24]

It is really shoddy quality for the price charged.... I could have made it for about £2.

Bob xoxoxox
Aww, that's a shame. :(

[pink_tink8i8]

aww sorry to hear about the veil. I had that happen to me too. I was disappointed once I got mine.

[tinks_1989]

Oh sorry to hear about your veil Bob thats very disapointing x

Bob xoxoxoxo

LOL

Have you tried wilkinsons i popped in earlier they had quiet a few bargains

[Bolanette87]

[gemmybear83]

I love all those shoes Bob - but I am a shoe freak who loves shoes :lovestruc I would say go with whatever you think you would wear again - and that are comfy! I like the idea of flat shoes for the evening I'm going to wear flip flops!

In another note I went to Debenhams tonight and they have lots of really nice balck facinators in there - and a black fur bolero - its not one with a ribbon tie front though but you might want to have a look at it :thumbsup2

[Bolanette87]

...

[malibustacey]

those shoes are nice~! i love shoes too - im hoping to find some white pretty pumps but i havent seen any anywhere exept expensive ones from bridal stores (and they arent that nice!)

I love Wilkinsons!!! What a fab shop!! So cheap and gooooooood quality! I LOVVEEE the collage photo frames - the one with a back and the plain glass front- you can get huge ones for like £10!!! you can fit hundreds of photos on there - i got two of the biggest ones for my grandads funeral for like £15 and we had hundreds of photos on them both- so cheap considering some places charge quite a lot for them. I have got all my frames and collage boards from Wilkinsons and i wouldnt get them any where else!

[Bolanette87]

...

[torsie24]

The flats are super cute bob!! And the first two heels. :)

[figment fan21]

bob,

I just read ALL of your PJ! Everything is amazing!!! Your recpetion venue is absolutely stunning... i'm jelouse! The dress is very pretty and i love the color scheme... the invitations you made are amazing. I love the birdcage veil too... i wanted to do one but i think my dress might be too modern for the birdcage veil. Anyway I'm subbing and i'm going to stay reading!

[malibustacey]

Would something like this be any good to you? http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/44020642&bklist=icat,5,shop,women,womenshoesandboots,womenp umps or these? http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/44011442&bklist=icat,5,shop,women,womenshoesandboots,womenp umps

Bob xoxoxoxox

yeah that is what i am looking for - but u have to be careful of the detail on the front on the shoe because i was warned that the tulle can get caught and really rip the skirt - so sometimes you can cover the front of the shoes in clingfilm otherwise there may be a disaster! heh- those two are really nice! im not even completely sure what style i want- do you think they do pointy flat ones in white. I think i will take a look in monsoon after thoes two to see what they feel like.

cheerrrrrrsssy!

My Bridesmaids should all be coming round on Tuesday afternoon so we can get them all in their dresses for a sneak preview! :banana: One lives in Bournemouth though and has a hospital appointment, so it all depends on if she gets back in time!

Sounds yummy Bob ! makes me my mouth water just reading it lol

I hope they can do your chosen desert

[malibustacey]

mmm mmmm i love brulees - i love making them too- the original cream ones.. oooh my gosh, i havent made any for ages and now i HAVE TOOO!! i started making a 3 layered chocolate brulee too when i found a recipe in a chocolate book and gossshh that was yummy.

it would be so great if they could do your original dessert!! surely it was popular!! why did they take it off the menu~ that would be one thing i would have every time if i was to go there!!

[gemmybear83]

Hey Bob - I hope they can put that dessert back on the menu again - will it change to a winter menu by the time of your wedding? I think the menu looks lovely though- its just made me hungry!:)

[Bolanette87]

[Bolanette87]

[scarlet-la-belle]

Wow, sounds yummy Bob, any chance you could post some of that down to me :rotfl:

I am thinking about the same thing (because i dont know what would suit me better, plus the heat/weather , plus my comfort heh)

I am going to find a photo of every hairstyle that i could possibly like, even if i dont think it would suit me, and get a hair trial done and get them to do every hairstyle you got photos of- that way, you might find a hairsytle you didnt realise you would like. I dont like my hair up, but i am going to have a trial and see what it looks like because it maight look different to what i expect it.

Having it down is my safety blanket too- i have my hair down all the time because its just so much more comfy hah.. but you never know, just gather a range of different hairstyles and get them to try them out on you- you never knowwww ....x

[Bolanette87]

...

[malibustacey]

well hun you just need to try them! Who knows what you will look like- your least favourite hairstyle may look amazing on you?

And im pretty pretty sure you will not look a mess on your wedding day you silly moo!

The thing is, you just need to try different styles and see what one you feel most comfortable in and the one you think you like on yourself most.

I am terrified on my hairstyle- but i am going to experiement and get over the fears heh! (im more terrified of the make up and the thought of someone else doing it for me on the day and then not liking it- i wear make up every day and i cant go without it- confidence thing with my skin, but again, i am going to have a trial before the wedding first and im going to get the make up artist try lots of different looks on me)

I think one of the most important things is comfort- because if youre anything like me- if i have my hair up and i get a slight pain or my hair is pulled too tight- thats it, the hair is out and down again so im comfortable.. !

I dont know if they are free in hair salons (im guessing they are but im not sure), or you know anyone who is a hairdresser but i'd definately look into getting a FEW hair trials done (i say a few because its better to look around as some people are better than others in doing wedding style hairstyles) and take photos along with you as a guide to what you want them to experiement on-

...and then take photos so you can show us! And trust meeee... you will look amazing on youre wedding day, however you have your hair! (well just dont dye it blue or anything!!??) ;)

[gemmybear83]

I totally understand about hair Bob - I think I look much better with hair down as I have very large "circle" head!! I am hoping to have mine down but dont really know what to do with it. I would go to a hairdresser you can trust (unless you happen to know a good friend who is good with hair) and ask them their opinions - show them what your dress/style is like and see what they think? It cant hurt - and if you dont like it you will know what you dont like?

[Bolanette87]

...

[tinks_1989]

Yay you had your BM trial lol

I saw the most gorgoues Green shoes in barratts on tuesday and actually thought of you when i saw them

http://www.barratts.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10553&langId=-1&catalogId=10055&productId=56739&quantity=1

This is them in pink (I really like these for my wedding shoes I want a splash of colour but it doesnt show them on the internet in the green)

I love that pic of how youd like to have your hair done very soft and doesnt look like you been in a hairderessers since 6am lol love it

[Bolanette87]

...

[scarlet-la-belle]

Hi Bob :goodvibes I love the colours that the B.M are in, the green looks lovely against they black:thumbsup2
And I think you should try both hair styles with all you're jewelery and stuff on because I think that can make a really big difference (but the hair style in the pic is gorgeous)

[DisneyBrideToni]

Love your BM dresses! black with your green will be great!

[tinks_1989]

Thank you Leanne! :hug: I shall try and talk my bridesmaids into a trip to Barratts at some point!

I'm really coming round to the idea of that hairstyle.... Hmmm!

Bob xoxoxoxox


:) I hope they have them in your barratts they deff had them in the one near me just not online may be its because they are new :S

[torsie24]

Bob I love that hair!! It really really goes with the style of your dress too, and is SO classy!!

Even if you just give it a rough try yourslef you'll get the idea of if the shape of the 'do' suits you. :)

[tinks_1989]

Hmmmm.... Not quite the right colour... They're teal aren't they??? I love the style of the shoes though- Really pretty.... :goodvibes

Bob xoxoxoxox
